Yeare 1645.

Some of the reflections in this little volume have considerable merit. "For politicall bodies, as well as naturall, have their degrees of age, declinings, and periods; which I cannot so properly tearm periods, as successions, or vicissitudes. Commonweals have often turned to kingdomes, and realms have been cut out into republicks; the ruine of one, being still the raysing of the other; as one foot cannot be lifted up, till the other be down: witnesse those foure mighty monarchies, which were as spokes upon Fortune's

wheel, or as so many nails driving out one another. And so is it also in naturall bodies; the corruption of one, is still the generation of another: so that, it seems, Nature hath her wheel also, as well as Fortune; and these changes and chauces, tend to preserve the whole from decaying. So, that the opinion of that Adrianian, since much enriched by a learned Druinian. is farre from deserving to be explored for a paradox, viz that the universe doth not decay or impair at all in the whole, but in its individuals and parts. For, as the preservation of the world is a continuall production; so in this production, as I said before, the corruption of one foreruns the generation of another: therefore to bear up the whole, if there be a decay in one place, it is recompensed in some other: so that one may say Nature danceth in a circle, and by this circulation, preserves the visible world.”
